The “great power peace” that has dominated global affairs since the end of World War II is “under stress” and “fraying at the edge,” America’s highest-ranking military officer told Air Force Academy graduates Wednesday.“With history as our guide, we would be wise to lift our gaze from the never-ending urgency of the present to set the conditions for a future that prevents great power war,” Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in his commencement remarks.“Right now we are in a great power competition with China and Russia,” Milley continued. “And we need to keep it at competition and avoid great power conflict …

Gee, I wonder why. Go look at your combat readiness reports, Gen. Tell us what a woke force can do on the battlefield. Putz.

Keep in mind this bloated tool of the communist death democrats, Political General Mark Miley, is actively destroying our military by rooting out so-called racists, white supremacists, and anyone who is deemed politically unreliable in our military, willingly forcing the woke communist agenda including including lowering the training standards throughout the military, and destroying the morale of our troops, to the point where if a war does break out our troops will be slaughtered in combat and our country will probably be laid to waste. And here he is, this lying disgrace to the uniform, warning of the mortal threat to our country posed by Russia and China to the graduates of the Air Force Academy who stand a real chance of losing their lives due to the actions of this gutless, treasonous stooge of the communist death democrats.
When President Trump is rightfully restored into the White House, I hope he has learned from one of his major failings and conducts wholesale firings from the upper command of the military, and all of the communists who are now nested in the upper levels of rest of the utterly corrupted federal agencies.
How in hell are we going to survive over 3 more years of the Usurper Biden/Harris communist death regime? Foreign enemies and domestic enemies are advancing. We are beset on all sides.

Fraying? Is that another way of saying your average American is sick of being in an endless chain of military conflicts and occupations since WW2?
Why should your average American taxpayer care if Syria or Libya or Central Asia goes to hell in a handbasket? Does your average Brazilian or Icelander give a flip about that?

Nice theory if you have the leadership and power to back it up. I think China and Russia smell weakness and are not hesitating to act upon it. Sun Tzu would be laughing at this guy.

Being a General does not provide great world acumen. Go back to acting like post WWII, and you will get better results, instead of the woke politics of today. And stay in your lane, and out of other people's business.

Nice words there General Milley but let me remind you this isn't 1940 and information is lightning fast while lies and deceit if reported would detect the enemy quicker than Pearl Harbor ever did. There's no guessing but a woke military is a useless camp of misfits fighting within itself like you sir. Air Force graduates in this man's military will be lucky to fly paper air planes at the rate this is going.

We are supposed to believe our defense is shared with staunch and strong NATO allies, particularly versus the Russians, who no longer have a Warsaw Pact alliance nor certain "republics" supplying manpower. We are supposed to believe that the Chinese are thwarted by a ring of "democracy" that includes SoKor, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Australia and others in the region, with Russia and India on its borders. Of course, the "Leader of the Free World", "Policeman of the World" is key to this. And for that privledge we spend trillions. And the return on investment is...Afghanistan, Iraq and even Syria. And that's the current inventory. Neither the Russians nor Chinese are true "superpowers", unable to project their power across the globe meaningfully. For the Chinese, the power is $$$ financing third world infrastructure and projects like the expanded Panama Canal under its "Silk Road" programs.
We are in the situation that Washington warned of in his farewell address, wrapped up in infinite commitments that entangle us militarily and economically.

One does not get to his position without being political. Luckily, he and others like him have a set time limit on holding their positions so the damage they can do is somewhat limited. Once upon a time the biggest complaint from the troops was the regularity of uniform changes ordered by these generals. It was their way of showing they were doing something. Today it is showing how "woke" they are. That and a war will prove how truly soft and misguided they are when their troops are killed and maimed trying to carry out orders from these "woke" officers. Like everywhere promotion depends on those making out ratings forms so if it takes being "woke" to move up then being "woke" it is and until politicians say enough is enough being "woke" will continue to build us a garrison force and not fighters.

This is what happens when one country spends almost all of it's resources protecting most of the world, while the rest of the world sits back knowing stupid Uncle Sam has their backs. Tanks on your border? Don't worry, Uncle Sam will put tens of thousands troops, some tanks, and a couple of dozen A10's and F-15's to stop them. Now go back to drinking your beer and enjoying your six weeks of vacation. The stupid Americans are here to protect you. What? No it won't cost you a penny. The American taxpayer is more than happy to pay for it all. Enjoy that high speed rail line which you were able to create and build because you didn't have to spend tens billions of dollars to defend yourself.
